Definitions
- the present invention relates to the production of hydrogen gas. More particularly, the present invention provides methods, materials, and apparatus for the production of hydrogen gas from ammonia. In one aspect, the hydrogen released from the ammonia is used as a fuel.
- CO 2 has achieved notoriety as a "greenhouse gas” for its ability to trap infrared radiation and thus prevent the release of heat from the Earth's atmosphere.
- Ozone has been linked with respiratory ailments and is a strong oxidant, thus contributing to property damage from air pollutants.
- the nitrogen and sulfur oxides have been implicated in acid rain, a major environmental concern, as well as property damage resulting from the formation of nitrogen and sulfur acids upon contact with water (H 2 O) in the atmosphere.
- the nitrogen and sulfur acids are of especial concern to European nations as acid rain has been implicated in the destruction of such well known ancient structures as the Coliseum in Rome and the Parthenon in Athens.
- the remaining gases have been linked to a variety of health concerns, especially lead, which has been linked to brain damage.
- hydrogen H 2
- ICEs hydrocarbons fuels
- Use of hydrogen fuels in ICEs would require only minor modifications to existing engine designs.
- the combustion of hydrogen in air yields water, which, of course, poses no significant environmental problem, and produces a relatively large amount of energy.
- propulsion technologies such as electric vehicles
- hydrogen can be used in fuel cells where it combines with atmospheric oxygen in a more controlled way than combustion through an electrochemical reaction. Electric energy generated by the fuel cell can either be stored in batteries or used directly to feed an electric motor to power the electric vehicle.
- Ammonia (NH 3 ) has been identified as a suitable hydrogen carrier: Ammonia is essentially non flammable and is readily obtained and handled in liquid form without the need for expensive and complicated refrigeration technology. In addition, ammonia contains about 1.7 times as much hydrogen as liquid hydrogen for a given volume in its liquid form; thus allowing for more efficient transportation of hydrogen fuel. Ammonia can be disproportionated into hydrogen and nitrogen (N 2 ) in a suitable separation unit upstream of the engine according to the reaction:
- ammonia can be present in the hydrogen/oxygen fuel mixture in low amounts, up to about 5% by volume of the fuel mixture, without significantly affecting the combustion of hydrogen. In fact, while pure ammonia burns with difficulty in air, it burns easily when mixed to hydrogen. Thus, the dissociation yield of the unit need not be 100%. Furthermore, ammonia has a significant vapor pressure (approximately 100 pounds per square inch (psi) at 27° C.).
- ammonia as a storage medium for hydrogen fuel has been disclosed, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,478,177 and 4,750,453, both assigned to Valdespino and incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.
- the ammonia separation unit is a chamber containing a catalyst that is taught to be one or more metals including iron (Fe), nickel (Ni), osmium (Os), zinc (Zn), and uranium (U). These metals are well known materials for dissociating ammonia. Iron-based disproportionation catalysts are described as well (Georgiev 1989).
- Another material found useful for cracking ammonia into hydrogen and nitrogen is the alloy comprising, by weight, 40.5% Zr, 24.5% Mn, and 25% by weight Fe (available commercially under the tradename St 909 from SAES Getters of Lainate, Italy) with 10% aluminum (Al) used as a binder (Baker et al. 1994).
- the present invention provides materials and methods that provide hydrogen from the disproportionation of ammonia in a highly efficient manner. Moreover, the materials and methods described herein can be used to produce hydrogen from ammonia at flow rates that are acceptable for the use of hydrogen in internal combustion engines. Thus, the present invention will be seen to provide an important contribution to the employment of environmentally sound energy sources.

In another embodiment, the amount of Al in the alloy is between about 20% and about 30% by weight. In still another embodiment, the amount of Al in the alloy is about 20% by weight.

- any existing engine or fuel cell design that operates with hydrogen can be adapted to benefit from the methods and materials described herein by including a reaction chamber which houses the above-described ammonia cracking materials which reaction chamber includes an inlet coupled fluidly with an ammonia supply, for introducing ammonia into the reaction chamber, and an outlet coupled fluidly with the combustion or electricity generating chamber for passing the hydrogen gas product for combustion or electrochemical reaction.
- a separate nitrogen exhaust can be included.
- the nitrogen can be passed along with the hydrogen into the combustion or electricity generating chamber.
- the construction and materials for forming the reaction chamber, ammonia storage container, and the various couplings will be familiar to those of skill in the art.

- the aliquot of the gas to be tested was inlet to the mass spectrometer by means of a variable leak valve 112.
- the gas was also made for the gas to bypass the ammonia-cracking material using a shunt 114 so that the relative amount of ammonia present in the unprocessed gas stream could be measured.
- the ammonia-cracking material consisted of a 40 cubic centimeter (cc) volume of material.
- the ammonia was preheated to the same temperature as the ammonia-cracking material.
- the temperature and flow rate were varied in the various experiments. Temperature was varied between about 500° C. and about 700° C.; the flow rate ranged from about 0.1 to about 10.0 standard liters per minute (slm).
